Abstract
The primary objective of the countermeasures program is to maintain crew functionality on long duration spaceflights (LDS). All International Partners (IPs) contributed to this effort. Russia’s Institute for Biomedical Problems (IBMP) and NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) had major responsibility for overall countermeasures. The focus of this section is physical countermeasures; primarily modes of exercise. This material summarizes equipment types and protocols utilized during the initial 10 years of ISS operations. The results presented were obtained by assessing crew performance pre and post flight.
